Response of the BGO Calorimeter to Cosmic Ray Nuclei in the DAMPE Experiment on Orbit

Abstract

This paper is about a study on the response of the BGO calorimeter of DAMPE experiment. Four elements in Cosmic Ray nuclei are used as sources for this analysis. A feature resulting from the geomagnetic cutoff exhibits in the energy spectrum, both in simulated and reconstructed data, and is compared between them.
